The North western passenger train from
the east reached Yankton last night
behind time. the first occurrence of thu
kind since February last. A washont or
the Gaiena division detained the trair
at Hawarden and it did not arrive until
two hours after the prescribed time.
O. +. Rossteuscher's condition is more
critical to-day than yesterday and the
physicians express surprise that he lived

there is any probability that he Gag

the victim of a chronic affection of the
bladder, which for the past ten years
has been a cause of constant suffering.
The heated term which ended Wed.
nesday had q damaging effect upon gar
den stuff and some of the farmers claim 1t
was beginning to affect corn. 1t was SO
hot in some of the fields as to almost
cook vegetation. The fine rain of to-day
will restore vegetation which was be-
ginning to droop from the effects OF the
heat.
The bill of fare for the d. N. g. at the
Huron encampment has beer printed
and the soldiers are promised much that
will put flesh on their bones. The bill
calls for green apples, beans, beef, pota-
toes and coffee. There is nothing said
about bread and hard tack is not men,

which will bs furnished at dinner for
dessert and swap it for q soda cracker.
In the possession OF the burglar who
operated in Yankton or Tuesday night,
and who was captured at Elk Point. Col.
M. w. Sheafe, of WATERFOWL, who was
in Elk Point yesterday, found a lady's
gold watch chain which was stolen from
his house in Watertown two weeks ago.
The burglar had taken silver ware and
other things no addition to the chain,
and this he had expressed to Omaha,
where it was hunted up by telegraph by
Dol. Sheafe. This gay purloiner had
evidently made a tour of DakoUa, and
when he was captured he only needed
two hours more time to be safe in his
eastern rendezvous.

THE YANKToN BURGLAR.

H...rHr -
Particulars of his Work in Elk Point
and OF his Capture-Watert0wn and
Sioux Falls Plumber Found.
From an article in the Sioux City
Journal under an Elk Point date il ap-
pears that the Yanktoa burglar, Peter
Winter, bureiarized the drug store OF
j. 8. Ialcott and the residence OF John
II. Wood. obtaining o number of gold
pens and holders, some money and q
silver watch. In looking around for the
burglar the Elk Point officers learned by
the train men that a man answering the
description had boarded the Yankton
freight on Monday at Vermlllion. On
Tuesday st. Pierre, q citizen of Elk
Point who knew the suspected party,
went TO Vermlllion to look for the
stranger. Frank Beckett was also in
structed to keep on the lookout, he hav.
ing seen the man at Elk Point on Satur.
day. On Wednesday, about ii O'Clock
Sheriff Cope told the boys their man was
near the depot at Yermillion. st. Pierre
immediately started down the hill road
and Beckett went down the
steps, and both came upon the
man near the tool house. Beckett
had gone to the rear of the tool house,
when ST. Pierre advanced, telling the
stranger to consider himself under
arrest. He made q break to rum and st.
| Pierre was just N the act of firing, as
| Beckett grabbed the fellow by the
| right arm as he was in the act of pulling
a gun, a double.acting, ivory mounted,
40 oalibre seven shooter. As soon as he
realized that he was caught he tried to
throw, or did throw. away a roll of bills
amounting to SIG, but Beckett saw the
move and secured the money and turned
it oyer to the sheriff. In this rolf
/ of money was several dollars in
fractional currency taken from George
Browns house IN Yankton on Monday
night. Mr.. Browns gold watch, and o
very fine diamond stud and some $40 o
Mr.. Browns pocket money were found
upon his person, in all about $500. Mr.
Woods watch was upon his person, and
another very fine gold watch. Also 9
large number of gold pens taken from
Talcott's. The third watch undoubtedly
belongs to parties in Sioux Falls.

The WHITE CROSS.

C.. II. II.
Yesterday afternoon, at the Methoais
church In this city, by request, Rev. @
H. Bohn rector OF Christ church, ad
dressed the ladies of the w. O. T. U.,upor
the subject of the white cross movement
There was q good audience and the
lecture was full of instructive material
The speaker said the subject was q
difficult one to discuss, being one from
which we all naturally shrink, and that
reference to it must be couched in the
most chaste pbraseolgy. Because of the
false notion that there is one law TO,
the man and another for the woman
this subject must be agltated. There
is the Law of right to which we are all
subject. There ia also the law of exped-
iency, and what may be e~xpedient for
you may not be expedient for me and
asce SeTsa. But as to the law of
right there is no difference. We have
begun at the wrong end of the line, in
that our efforts are and have been di-
rected toward reform, The conductor
is not to wait until the train has gone
down the embankment before the brakes
are thrown on. Our women, and es.
pecially our young women, need to
pledge themselves to lives of purity.
Let every young mi be careful OF
her conversation, modest, chaste, Let
her not associate or make the slightest
recognition OF any young man who
has the least faint of impurity, and soon
every such young man will realize the
standing to which he has brought
himself. Let the girls understand
that marriage 10 not the ultimate
aim of life. Better ostracise herself than
to associate with the vile.

Many helpful suggestions were made,
among them this-that the different
church organizations, Y. M. q. A. and
w. O, I. o., organize q systematic order
of amusements. Youth is active, must
have exercise, and if christians do not
